Escape

With a capacity of 2,000, this is about as big as clubbing gets in central Amsterdam - and in 2007 it will continue to expand with three new areas. Ever since club night Chemistry left, the place has disappeared from the national spotlight, resurfacing instead as a venue for a younger, more mainstream crowd. Queues still form on Saturday and Sunday evenings - the latter a succesful alternative to a lazy day spent on the couch. The bouncers are wary of groups of tourists, so squeeze into a slinky T-shirt, slap on some hair product and get in line early.
